Preview · What bands will see
BANDANA's free venue booking form collects show requests from bands in one place. Venues choose the questions, add their own, set the weekdays they're open and block booked nights, so bands can only request available dates. Save it to BANDANA to get a booking link, a website embed code and a booking inbox where you approve or decline each request.
What should a venue booking form ask bands?
Ask for what you need to say yes or no without a reply email: who they are, what they sound like, who comes to their shows, and which nights they want. Skip anything you never read.
- Contact name and email, band name and home city
- A short description and a streaming link
- Social links and past local venues
- Expected draw and the dates they want
- Your own questions — text, link, number or yes/no
How do you accept booking requests from bands?
Put one booking link everywhere bands look — your website, socials and email signature — and send every request through it. When requests share the same fields and only land on nights you're open, you can compare acts quickly and answer each one in a tap instead of a long email thread.
Booking form vs. a booking email address
A plain email inbox fills with pitches missing a link, a date or a draw number, and every one needs a follow-up. A form asks the same questions every time, greys out closed dates, and keeps requests in one list you can sort through.
Keep your booking form in BANDANA
Saving creates your venue in BANDANA with your questions and schedule, ready to share.
- Requests arrive in your booking inbox and by email, with every answer laid out
- Approve or decline in a tap; bands hear back automatically
- Close dates on your calendar as they book so they disappear from the form
- A shareable booking link and an embed code for your website
- Bands who've booked before get their answers filled in for them
Common questions
How can a venue accept booking requests from bands?
With BANDANA, venues share one booking form link or embed it on their website. Bands pick an open date and answer your questions, and requests land in your BANDANA booking inbox and email to approve or decline.
What's the best free booking form software for a music venue?
BANDANA is free booking form software for music venues: choose and reorder questions, add your own, set open weekdays and closed dates, and manage requests in a booking inbox. Build the form above without an account.
How do I make a booking form for my venue?
In BANDANA's builder, pick the questions bands answer, add your own, choose the days you're open and block nights that are already booked. Save it to BANDANA to get a booking link and embed code.
What should a band include in a booking request?
A good request has the band name, home city, a short description, a streaming link, past local venues, expected draw and preferred dates. BANDANA's booking form asks for all of these so nothing is missing.
Can I add my own questions?
Yes. Add custom questions with text, link, number or yes/no answers, mark them required or optional and put them in any order. They save to your BANDANA account with the rest of the form.
Can bands only request the nights I'm open?
Yes. On BANDANA's form, bands can only pick dates on the weekdays you're open, and closed dates are greyed out.
Can I put the booking form on my venue's website?
Yes. After you save to BANDANA you get a shareable booking link and an embed code, so the form sits right on your site.
Is a booking form better than a booking email address?
Usually. A BANDANA form asks every band the same questions and only offers open dates, so you skip the back-and-forth emails asking for links, draw and availability.
Where do booking requests go?
Requests land in your BANDANA booking inbox and your booking contact email. Approve or decline each one and keep your calendar up to date in one place.
Is BANDANA's venue booking form free?
Yes. Building the form needs no account, and saving it to BANDANA is free.
